THE EFFECT OF DIABETES MELLITUS TYPE I AND TYPE II ON WHITE BLOOD CELLS
Journal Title: European Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2019, Vol 6, Issue 11
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a growing global public health problem. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the elevated white blood cell (WBC) count associated with diabetes. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between WBC count and type I and II diabetes. We also examined the relevant variables of WBC count. A total of 300 subjects were recruited. This study found increasing association between age, sex and years of treatment. A total of 300 recruited T1D and T2D patients constituted the subjects for this case-control study. Subjects included 150 patients type I and 150 patients type II. The age range was 3-70 years. The WBC count, lymphocytes and neutrophils were determined using standard methods and the results were compared statistically with values obtained from non-diabetic controls. The white total WBC counts were significantly higher in the study groups in comparison with the control group (P=0.05). This study showed elevated levels of cells in association with diabetes, age, sex as well as years of treatment.
